Can't log in to Nighthawk app (R6400v2)
Hello. I Have problem with login to Nighthawk app. Everything was working normally suddenly app has asked me for router password and won't accept this password. Replay is: Logon timed out please try again. If this issue persists try rebooting your device.
Device (phone) was rebooted - doesn't help,
Cash of android Nighthawk App cleared -doesn't help
Clear all data of app - doesn't help
Uninstall/Reinstall app - doesn't help
Restart of router - doesn't help
Reset router to factory setup - this help me but this is not acceptable solution.
Today Nighthawk app second time didn't accept my password and reply with above message.
Do I have reset to factory my router every two weeks to get this app working?
Please fix it.

Your not the first we've seen with issues on the app.
Most resort to just logging in through the browser.

I'm paying for Netgear Armor and the only way to enable or disable this service is to use Nighthawk app.. that's why i need it.

If its causing an issue with using armor, you can go through support as well.
To get a hold of support for subscriptions services like Armor/Circle, click on "MyNetgear" at the top.
Register an account (or login) and then the device.
From there you can start the support process.

What is the firmware on the router?
Firmware and app operations are closely linked.

Router firmware is: V1.0.4.126_10.0.102

That is the latest firmware for the R6400v2. Your first message said R6400. That's different hardware.
